Help Tethering.

Hello
I have previously always purchased Windows Mobile based phones, but am considering a move over to Android
I currently have a HTC HD2, which I like very much. I especially like the way I can use it as a modem to the Internet via a USB cable, but also how it can act as a WiFi router also.

My question is: Does the Samsung Galaxy S 2 allow you to use it as a modem for a laptop to access the internet via a USB lead? (Known as tethering in the 'droid world??) Can this also act as a WiFi router, as my HTC HD2 can?
Is any of this core functionality to 2.3, gingerbread?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
 
Great, thanks for the reply.
I am in the UK, and hear there are some version differences in the US. Are you in the US or UK?
Thanks again
 
I'm in New Zealand, but my SGSI is a UK model (came from Clove). I will have my SGSII in perhaps a week, depending on how fast shipping is, and how fast Clove send it. Can confirm for you then if you haven't had a definite answer from an existing owner on here by then (or already got the phone yourself).
